We Know Why the Film Industry Is Abandoning California—Now What? (w/ Colleen Bell, Film Commission)

Hollywood is on life support—and California may be too little, too late. In this sobering episode of Finding the Frame, host Chris Haigh sits down with Colleen Bell, the Executive Director of the California Film Commission, to talk about the rapid collapse of California’s film industry. From the exodus of production to the glaring disconnect between policy makers and working filmmakers, this interview reveals the painful reality of what’s happening behind the scenes. *This episode was recorded before the $750 million tax incentive was officially passed. Colleen Bell, a former U.S. Ambassador and Emmy-nominated producer, now leads the state’s efforts to keep Hollywood in California. But as this conversation makes clear, passion isn’t enough. The stakes are high, the system is slow, and the damage is real. What we cover: • How Hungary built a world-class film industry—thanks in part to Bell • Why studios are still avoiding California, even with local talent • What the new $750M incentive could mean—and why it may not be enough • How capped credits, high costs, and red tape are killing L.A. shoots • The Film Commission’s response to studio moves, Trump tariffs, and Newsom’s federal plan • The harsh reality for working crews across the state Why it matters: Crews are out of work. Budgets are tight. And California is losing productions to cheaper, more aggressive states and countries. Without major change—and studio accountability—the identity of Hollywood as a production hub may be lost.
